Teresa Driscoll spent years as a reporter writing about crime, and she brings that experience into her writing (The Promise, The Friend, I Am Watching You). Apparently, there are characters from her earlier books in her latest one, I Will Make You Pay, but I haven’t read those and didn’t feel like I was missing any information, so it functions well as a standalone.

Alice Henderson is a reporter, who has focused on local issues. She receives a threatening phone call, then the threat increases. At first, Alice was dismissive, seeing it as a hoax, but it soon becomes clear it is serious.

Alice’s boyfriend hires former police officer and now private investigator Matthew Hill, a character who will be familiar to readers of the earlier books by Ms. Driscoll. The alternating points of view may not appeal to everyone, but it was very easy to follow, and the suspense was very well done. I liked Alice, and will definitely read future books in this series. Four stars.

I received a copy of Ms. Driscoll’s  book I Will Make You Pay from Amazon and NetGalley in exchange for this honest review.
